Lets talk about AF speed
It is only since buying the K7 that i have used AF at all even then i use it with caution! I prefer "catch in focus" for moving subjects which cuts out the need for focusing speed altogether. Regards - Pete Catch in focus sounds to be an excellent technique that perhaps I should develop. Haven't re...

Lets talk about AF speed
I learned focussing with manual lenses and manual cameras :P Didn't have a problem then, and don't have one now! BUT, I set my dSLR like this (as I've often said before): * Disable AF on half-press (this is essential IMHO) * Centre focus point only * To focus, I press the "AF" button on the ba...

So the government is about to or already has installed the new body scanners at Heathrow and Manchester. There are lots of issues raised over privacy as per recent reports in the news papers. The system is already in use at Schiphol for flights to the UK via gate D6. It is not mandatory to use...

If you have nothing to hide, why object? I think this can be quite a dangerous argument, as it can be used to justify more and more intrusion into the lives of oridinary, law abiding citizens. Then we look back in horror at how much individual freedom has been lost over the years. Those who are ed...

X Ray body photography
When the 'Fasten seat belt' sign comes on, the staff clear the drinks trolley away and 'casually' start searching the plane, which is making a very tight turn to head back to the airport you've just left, the plane suddenly becomes very silent. And the perceived loss of civil liberties melts away a...

Photoshop turns 20
I've been using it since v3.0 - about 16 of those years? Just about getting the hang of it now... :wink: So I hear, and I am sure that your bank account is considerable lighter with all the upgrades. ;) :shock: The Photomonk Nope. Stuck on V5 and never seen the need to upgrade further - it does...

Taking pictures of people
It looks to me like there is only one blatent effort to aviod being photographed and two or three other girls (the two main subjects on the L/H side and the two on the right) who may have made a concious effort to turn away. It could just be a coincidence as they turn to talk to each other at the ex...

Photoshop editing for water on lens
Cloning. But there comes a point where its not worth it, eg if the droplets are big and out of focus, making most of the image blurry. In that case i'd either go for an abstract shot and enhance the blur, or give up! Would be useful to see your shot.

I know. i am disappointed about the clouds too. Unfortunately it was snowing and these are the clouds you get when it snows. I think I may have to crop. This ruin is infact an old acquaduct. Remains of the Roman empire just at my back door. Would love the get some more colour into the shot. Make it...

Would love to go back on a nicer day, but the thing was that there was the snow. Doesn't happen very often here

Thanks boys...:wink: But actually I am about to take it down. Flickr has done something dreadful to the sky colour and the edit on my hard drive looks as I meant it. NOT including the post nuclear sky. I have to figure out what happened. But It was placed here as a quick and dirty example in the fi...

What budget do you have in mind? A cheap and nasty tripod will set you back £20 or a top of the range £600

Oops, I ticked 'No' after checking it all out, rather than before. I'm pre-coffee, sorry (another RTFQ here). I mean 'Yes' - no matter how hard I look, I can't see them as the same. :oops: I so wish the forum software let you retract a vote... cos I didn't mean to cheat, honest guv. Anyway,...

perception
I really printed this in an A4 size and decided to play with the kids saying it was a magic trick lol. Had a lot of fun. Cut small pieces of square paper to cover the areas in small increments and keep checking when the colour perception stops and it was funny that there seems to be just one or two ...

Upcoming changes to UK Photo laws
So it will be OK for a British company to steal anyone's photos regardless of which country that photographer is from, and the copyright laws of the photographer's country? What are the chances an Australian, American or even a Dutch person will spot that their photo has been used in this way and be...

IoW recommendations please
You MUST visit Dimbola lodge in Freshwater. A walk to the top of Tennyson Down will give some spectacular views along the coast back toward Compton and Brook. Yarmouth castle is also worth a look. Take the bus tour to the needles that way you wont have to pay the £4 to park and you get dropped off a...
